Earthworks IM3 3" Gooseneck Cardioid Microphone for Conference Rooms and Fixed Sound Installations, 30Hz to 30kHz, Silver

High Definition Microphones for Fixed Installations
The Earthworks IM Series High Definition Microphones provide astounding audio quality for fixed installations. The IM Series can be custom mounted in a ceiling, wall or table and will provide the ultimate in sound quality, flexibility and ease of installation. The IM microphone's uniquely designed small head and flexible mini-gooseneck allow it to be easily and precisely positioned. The IM Series near-perfect polar response will not beam or spotlight and will provide very high intelligibility. The frequency response of both the cardioid or hypercardioid at 90 degrees off-axis is within 2dB of the on-axis response (over its operating frequency range). This overall uniform frequency response of the hypercardioid is at least 5dB down at 90 degrees off-axis. This exceptional polar response allows the use of fewer microphones, while obtaining higher intelligibility and more gain before feedback.

Near-Perfect Polar Response
David Blackmer invented a number of new microphone technologies resulting in a totally new approach to microphone design. One such technology resulted in the creation of near-perfect polar patterns. When you look at a polar pattern of an Earthworks microphone, the mid-frequencies, high-frequencies and low-frequencies all look very close to a "textbook" polar pattern. In practice this means the polar response of an Earthworks microphone is extremely uniform over its operating frequency range; the frequency response at 90 degrees off-axis is very close to the on-axis response. This uniform polar response results in less phase problems and much higher intelligibility at the sides of the microphone.

IM Series Installation Microphones
The IM Series provides a low profile, pristine sounding microphone solution for permanent installations. Featuring a flat frequency response and patented polar technology, orators will maintain the same intelligibility throughout the room without a reduction of sound level or loss of high frequencies, while obtaining more gain before feedback. The IM Series installation microphones provide a 30Hz to 30kHz frequency response, near-perfect polar response with pristine audio in an attractive low-profile package with options of 3, 6, 10 or 12 inch mini-goosenecks in black, white or silver.
